The National Center for Pop Music is no more it's been run by a company that wants to have luxury toilet gig venues (!) and will be a niteklub by night and a conference centre by day, so the only way to hear Martyn's music for the NCPM is on cd now. Vince & Martyn's new cd got a very nice review in Q. There's a health and beauty shop in Sheffield, on Baslow road called The Luxury Gap and Company!!! |

Info from the Cabaret Voltaire mailing list via Andy Millington
According to the Guardian TV/Radio guide... BBC Radio 2, Thursday, 24th May, 10.00pm: "The Look of Love: The story of the New Romantics ...and Glenn Gregory from Heaven 17 discuss the 80s life in the city, while Richard Kirk from Cabaret Voltaire puts the case for its more underground electronic past" Update from Andy: If anyone missed the recent Radio2 feature on late 70's / early 80's Sheffield music and wants a copy I taped it. It was a great show with contributions from Glenn and Martyn (who revealed that a life-changing moment was hearing 'Trans Europe Express' for the first time at a party thrown by Richard Kirk from Cabaret Voltaire). If anyone wants a copy send an email to andy@mill1768.freeserve.co.uk and I'll return the postage details. ===cut=== Andy asks anyone who wants a copy to send a tape. |

16Mar2001 | For a long time I did not like to publish this kind of commercial info,
but it can be of interest for some fans:
Fleetwood Owen's Rock and Pop Legends Auction has started handling bids from February 23rd on. It will culminate in a live auction on March 27th at the Hard Rock Cafe, London. The auction has Martyn Ware's personal collection of acetates + production paperwork for Erasure to bid on. Martyn Ware's personal collection of acetates includes Heaven 17, Human League, BEF, Hot Gossip and the Hillsboro' Crew. These acetates are sold on an "as is" basis. As the buyer would have the opportunity to make copies, there is absolutely no return privilege. The production paperwork for Erasure includes a red expanding wallet file labelled Erasure 93-94 Property of Martyn Ware with paperwork documenting Martyn Ware's production work for Erasure at the Church and Windmill Lane Studios. |

Still fighting the struggle between quality and size. Still some of the videos are not functioning properly, I'll send out a newsletter when the videos are working again. Sorry for that ! URL Possibly I have to change the server again, please use only http://www.heaven17.de as bookmark, thanks ! YOUR MAILS A lot of mails arrived in the last weeks and I did not yet find the time to reply to all of you. I hereby apologize and promise that I'll reply to all of them as soon as I find some quiet time ! PROMO T-SHIRTS I managed to get a small amount of new Fruit-Of-The-Loom Quality-T-Shirts. They are XL in size, black and show the HEAVEN 17 name and the text "How Live Is" on the front side printed in white letters. They are originally used as promo shirts for record shops, so you can't get them in a normal shop or via the mercandising page. If you want some of them, please mail me. I do not want to make big money with this, so I'd like to get DEM 20 (USD 10 / EUR 10 / GBP 7) plus p+p each, which is similar to the amout I payed for them. |
